You can transfer ownership of your property to a family member through a registered sale deed or gift deed. The process involves drafting the deed, paying stamp duty and registration fees, and registering the deed with the relevant authorities.

My husband built our dream home on a plot of land in Kerala. We took a loan for the construction, and my mother-in-law is listed as a co-owner in the bank documents. I want to understand the process of adding my name as a co-owner and what costs might be involved. My husband mentioned around 50-60 thousand rupees and that we’ll need to renew our house insurance in a few years. He also suggested a will for the time being, ensuring I inherit the property if something unforeseen happens to him. Is this the right approach? I’m also worried about what happens if a tragedy strikes, and he hasn’t made a will or power of attorney. Who would legally own the house and land in that scenario? As a North Indian, I struggle with Malayalam, and the documents are currently with my in-laws. Could you please guide me through this process and clarify any legal uncertainties?

My family owns a flat in a cooperative society, with the ownership listed in two names. Can a third name be added to the ownership? If one owner passes away, can they will their share to their daughter? Does the will need to be registered or go through probate?

My grandfather received a property from his father in 1964, documented on a simple agreement with signatures but not officially registered. This property includes a shop and four flats. We bought one flat in my mother’s name. My grandfather has five children, and two of his sons were gifted flats. One uncle received another property he earned himself. The shop was verbally promised to me four years ago, but now my grandfather plans to sell it. We have no other income, and there are seven grandsons in our family. What legal grounds do I or my father have to file a case against my grandfather to prevent the sale of the shop and obtain a court order to stop it?

My family owns a 65 square yard house. My father has one brother who has been living in the house with his family since our grandparents passed away five years ago. We live elsewhere, but would like to claim our rightful share of the property. However, my uncle is refusing to cooperate. What legal options do I have to ensure I receive my share?

My father passed away in February 2003. He strongly opposed giving any portion of his property to his daughter. So, in 1998, he let me build a house on the property at my own expense, allowing me to collect rent. After his passing, my mother claims there was no will and that she and my sister took all his savings – around 15 lakhs and some shares, the details of which are unclear. Now, they want a share in the property as well. This seems suspicious, especially since my mother never agreed to this arrangement before. I promptly got the property registered in my name, including electricity and water connections, in 2003. For the past 10 years, no one has contested this. I now wish to sell the property, but they refuse to sign, even if I offer them their rightful share. What legal steps should I take?
